Another Saturday matinee, another loss for the Flyers. So it goes. Things are pretty rough right now, but they still didn’t play that badly yesterday? Anyway, here are six observations on the loss that extended the streak to six. Go birds.

1. A new look
With Nolan Patrick coming back into the lineup (hooray!) for yesterday’s game, we had a bit of shuffling done with the lines, and, for the first time in a bit, that’s good news here! We’ll note that everything was pretty well balanced/optimized, and we’re excited about the old top line of Claude Giroux, Sean Couturier, and Travis Konecny being reunited, as they looked to be getting back to old form, but what we really want to hone in on is the brand new Patrick line.
